Beiliang City is just a small place, and having a few Innate Martial Masters in the past was already quite remarkable.
But now, there’s the mysterious old monster, this monkey-playing elder, and those unfamiliar Martial Masters and Innate Martial Masters from earlier!
So many formidable figures are all flocking to Beiliang City, which clearly isn’t normal!
Regardless, cultivators are inherently strong-willed, undisciplined, and act recklessly.
Once these people stir up chaos, the entire Beiliang County will be turned upside down!
Gu Yuan felt an even deeper chill in his heart, with a vague sense of unease growing!
He hadn’t thought much about it before.
But now he’s certain that the mysterious old monster’s visit to Beiliang City surely has another purpose!
Including these monkey players and other Martial Masters, Innate Martial Masters, they all have co for so reason.
There must be so big event happening near Beiliang City or Beiliang County that he doesn’t know about!
Withdrawing from the crowd, Gu Yuan left the city, heading towards the Yunng Mountain Range.
After Ah Huang completes its promotion, he decided to visit Jade Cauldron Tower and ask Old Chen for information.
This old guy must know sothing.
...
Once in the mountains, arriving at a secluded valley, Gu Yuan stopped.
Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!
Ah Huang seed to sense what was about to happen next, feeling a mix of excitent and unease, jumping around Gu Yuan.
"Don’t worry, it’s alright."
Gu Yuan comforted Ah Huang, then focused his mind and opened the attribute panel:
[Beast Master]: Gu Yuan
[Status]: Normal
[Beast Pet]: Iron-toothed Rat (can evolve into Treasure Hunting Mouse, requires 800 Dao Rhy Points) —— Iron-backed Centipede (can evolve into Silver-backed Centipede, requires 5600 Dao Rhy Points) —— Big-mouthed Snake (can evolve into Devouring Serpent, requires 1000 Dao Rhy Points) —— Black Armor Ao (can evolve into Black Armored Spirit Ao, requires 1200 Dao Rhy Points).
[Taable Beast Pets]: 1
[Cultivation]: Postnatal Martial Master (Bone Refining)
[Dao Rhy]: 2680
....
Due to achieving Great Success in Bone Refining and advancing to the Peak Martial Master, Gu Yuan gained an additional slot to ta a spirit pet.
His Dao Rhy Points accumulated to over two thousand six hundred.
[Consu 800 Dao Rhy Points to evolve Iron-toothed Rat into a Treasure Hunting Mouse, Confirm/Reject?]
Gu Yuan patted Ah Huang’s smooth, soft head, feeling a stir in his heart: "Confirm!"
The next mont, on his attribute panel, the 2680 Dao Rhy Points silently beca 1880.
At the sa ti, a thick layer of white light began to appear on Ah Huang’s body surface.
This layer of white light was gentle and pure, exuding a rich life aura, with a mysterious charm, enveloping Ah Huang’s whole body and continuously penetrating into its body.
Ah Huang’s body began to undergo certain changes rapidly.
Its body, originally the size of a half-large vicious dog,
under this white light, began to shrink, with a series of crisp sounds like frying beans coming from within!
At the sa ti, all the shiny gray-black fur fell off, scattering on the ground.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!"
Ah Huang let out a sharp, painful squeal, but the sound was also filled with threads of excitent and joy.
It evidently realized it was undergoing a crucial transformation, one greatly beneficial to it!
Crack!
The two dark green front teeth in Ah Huang’s mouth fell out, and the sharp claws lost their luster and dropped to the ground.
anwhile, beneath the pink skin, fine, soft jade-white hair quickly sprouted.
After about a teapot’s ti of boiling, the white light on Ah Huang’s surface dissipated, signaling the end of its transformation.
At this mont, Ah Huang’s form had transford into a small mouse with jade-white fur.
It looked about the size of a fist, covered all over with fluffy fur, with two round eyes full of a mischievous spirit, appearing exceptionally cute.
Subsequently, several pieces of information appeared before Gu Yuan:
[Evolution successful, you have obtained a pet Treasure Hunting Mouse!]
[Treasure Hunting Mouse (Red)]
Description: An exotic mouse with the bloodline of the ancient exotic beast, Treasure Hunting Mouse, possessing the ability to find treasures, has an extraordinary sensitivity to treasures! Though it appears diminutive and cute, it is exceptionally intelligent, moves mysteriously, and is also extrely "dangerous" — anything it has its eyes on will eventually be lost!
Evolving to "Treasure Hunting Mouse" requires maturing to the full-grown Treasure Hunting Mouse and consus 6800 Dao Rhy Points!
Status: Normal
Phase: Growth Stage (1%)
...
[You have gained the innate divine technique "Treasure Hunting Skill" of the Treasure Hunting Mouse!]
...
"Treasure Hunting Skill..."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, his heart unavoidably filled with anticipation: "A divine technique, huh..."
Divine techniques are things that only Celestial Human Realm cultivators can cultivate; ordinarily, for him, a Martial Master, learning a divine technique is unthinkable — utterly impossible!
But the Spirit Pet System turned this impossibility into a possibility!
The next mont, Gu Yuan’s expression slightly changed.
Because he felt his eyes start to heat up, becoming scorching.
It was as if they turned into two burning coals, becoming intensely hot and painful.
Gu Yuan groaned softly and closed his eyes.
As his eyes throbbed with pain, he vaguely felt a brilliant glow burgeon within his mind, and when the light receded and converged, it transford into a mysterious, enigmatic talisman.
This talisman appeared jade-white, emitting seven-colored splendor; though its strokes looked simple, they naturally carried Dao Rhy, as if they were aggregates of unfathomable Dao patterns of heaven and earth, embodying the ethos of great simplicity.
Mysteriously, Gu Yuan understood what this was.
This was the divine technique talisman of the Treasure Hunting Skill, the core of this divine technique!
With its power, he could effortlessly perform the Treasure Hunting Skill.
A mont later, the burning pain in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Gu Yuan blinked his eyes, vaguely sensing so changes within them.
He approached the stream, and from its reflection, he saw his eyes appeared more luminous, the contrast of black and white more distinct.
He activated the Treasure Hunting Skill, feeling a slight coolness in his eyes.
He then perceived so changes in the world before him, as if, under his gaze, dots of light scattered across the mountains.
These lights were of varying hues: so blue, so red, so white, and varied in brightness, with mostly blue-green, then white, and the fewest in red.
Even the Qiushui Sword in his hand glimred with a faint silvery-white glow.
"Most worldly treasures, the more precious, the more intense their spiritual aura, their spiritual light."
"It is said that during the Middle Ages, a hunter, while pursuing ga in the mountains, once got lost and trapped there, sleeping soundly at night until a noise awoke him."
"Upon opening his eyes, he saw not far away emanated five-colored spiritual light, blue and purple auras soaring into the sky, reaching three ters high."
"The hunter sensed sothing extraordinary, dug several feet deep, and unearthed a scroll of the Purple Talisman Celestial Scripture, along with an Immortal Pill. The hunter swallowed the pill, cultivated arduously in the mountains for a hundred years, erging having attained the Longevity True Immortal Dao Fruit, settled his mortal affairs, and then ascended."
Gu Yuan recalled a short story from a miscellaneous book he had read earler.
"Could these spots of light be the emanated spiritual light, or perhaps treasure light?"
